The mission of Greater Steps Scholars is make certain that every child living in subsidized housing has both the opportunity for and expectation of a college education.
Greater Steps Scholars serves as a vehicle of hope for young people with the desire to achieve, but who lack adequate financial means. The Greater Steps programming is designed to inspire them to work toward becoming independent, self-reliant citizens of the community, by lending a helping hand. Since its inception, 940 youth have received over $3.8 million in scholarships, having been assisted in attending more than 75 different colleges, universities and trade schools.
